Class of 2014
Career Outcomes Report
Presented By:
It is with great pride that the Office of Career
Development presents first destination information on the Class of 2014. Six months post-graduation, 95% of the Class has secured their intended outcomes. Many achieved success early, with 73% having finalized their plans prior to graduation.
Of those accepting employment, the positions are related to each graduate’s area of academic study or career interests. The Office continues to work with those graduates who are job searching or seeking admission to educational programs.
The information in this report was solicited from members of the Class from September 2013 through November 2014, by means of surveys, e-mail
correspondence, and in-person advising meetings. This past year, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), recommended replacing the term “response rate” with “knowledge rate” to more accurately reflect the variety of methods that could be used to obtain reliable outcomes information. In keeping with the latest standards and protocols of NACE, the knowledge rate for this report is 89%.
We congratulate the members of the Class of 2014 and encourage them to stay in touch with the Office of Career Development. We look forward to hearing of the on-going success of our newest alumni as they embark on the next phase of their professional development.
With all best wishes,

As the first person in my family to attend college, I am grateful for the guidance and support that the Career Development staff invested in my professional development.
Gaining career related experience was not difficult and I learned how to interview and how to give a job-sealing handshake. My hard work resulted in several offers, including
the opportunity that I wanted at my top choice company. Through my membership in the Stevens Technical Enrichment Program and my participation in Cooperative Education, the Stevens community became like family – my home away from home.
